Stressed‐Skin Wings in Pure Torsion: Simple Solutions for the Proportion of the Torque Resisted by Two Spars in Differential Bending

Abstract

BEING basically a strain energy problem, no quick method has so far been evolved—to the author's knowledge—for the determination of the relative distribution of the torque between the skin tube and the spars for other conditions than those in which the wing section and the applied torque is constant throughout the span.
